Rail
Your Rail Expert
Synertec has extensive experience in the rail sector, including key projects for the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop (MURL), and the Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project.
These large scale rail projects have included significant upgrade of the highly distributed and highly available Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) control system architecture and IT infrastructure.
The new SCADA system integrated numerous systems including programmable logic controllers, internet protocol video surveillance, security, fire, rail information, and building management.
The project demonstrated Synertec’s ability to deliver within a tight schedule whilst ensuring zero-downtime of critical infrastructure, which is vital in a project of this nature.
